Jim Thome hit a grand slam, Harold Baines added a three-run and Charles Nagy pitched seven solid innings Thursday as Cleveland moved within a win of sweeping the AL division series from Boston with an 11-1 rout of the Red Sox. The Indians, who were the first team in 49 years to score more than 1,000 runs during the regular season, looked for a while like they inight try to match that figure Thursday. Cleveland capitalized on Bret wildness and scored 11 runs in a two-inning span to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.

The Red Sox, who lost Pedro Martinez to a back injury in Game 1, will turn to another Martinez, Pedro's brother, Ramon, to save their season in Game 3 Saturday at -Fenway Park. Dave Burba, a post- iiliu iui uic iiiuioiia ginning out of the bullpen last year, starts for Cleveland. The Indians, who had lost eight straight series openers before winning Wednesday night, have won straight postseason games against the Red Sox. Pedro Martinez, who removed himself after four innings in Game 1, said the muscle strain in his back had improved, but that there was persistent pain and he planned to throw again on Saturday. Even if he can pitch again, it may be too late for the Red Sox, who dropped to 1-18 since Bill Buckner's infamous error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

Michigan coach Lloyd Carr probably described most rivalry trophies best when he said of the Bunyan prize: "It's the ugliest trophy in college football. When you don't have him you miss him, but it's ugly." The Michigan-Michigan State matchup is a beauty.

For the first time since 1961, both teams enter the game undefeated at 5-0. While Carr and Michigan State's Nick Saban are trying to play it cool, they know how important it is to win this game.
